Coach Talk

Play With Fire
Listen Play With Fire, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 259 points through Week 3, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 233 we needed for this past week's win!
Monkey Business
Hey, it's possible that Monkey Business may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 30 targets as a group in Week 4, their six wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
